No it's not. Every other forum I have ever seen in the past six or seven years has been downward-sorting. I have never, ever seen another forum, of dozens and dozens, that sorted down-up instead of up-down. Why Shrapnel keeps things this way simply surpasses comprehension.

Apparently it does surpass several people's comprehension, at least. Folks from Shrapnel have explained it before though, and there is a reason, if not one that you folks will ever agree with. It should be an option, ideally, and I'm sure it would be if it were easy enough, since it's been discussed many times before. They have a lot to do, though, and the gaming business takes precendence over conformity on message sort order, which also makes some sense, at least to me.

Has anyone else ever seen another forum that does this?
Yes. For example, the one at this link.
